Until someone owns the rights to what they developed, the games can't be made free or placed back up for the same price.

If I had purchased these I would indeed worry if this would affect me as consumer. I'm sure this is only temporary until someone buys the rights.

Microsoft does not own the rights to the titles. In fact, right now nobody does, which is why they cannot be sold. This is why they've been taken off XBLA. Eventually, once the licensing rights have been sorted, they'll go back up.

...now I've taken a step back towards owning physical copies of games. I really LIKE digital distribution, but now new people cannot buy the game, is that correct?

I thought one of the benefits of DD was that it would always be available.

It's not available because the company that owns them has shut down. If these titles were sold in stores, they'd be taken off of shelves for the exact same reasons. This is a rare, rare occurrence and wont happen often.
